Crappy I don't know; mine lasted till 42K. My guess is that your prize went
up in SMOKE!!

I got Firestone Radial ATX's at 42K. I like em. I can't really compare
them to the Invictas because we got the truck used, there wasn't much thread
then at 36K, and by the time I got new the Invictas were almost slicks.
They're really good traction wise (on several occasions when i've been doing
stupid stuff they've refused to break lose when I thought they should of).
The thing I like most is the sound. The Invictas always seemed to whine;
the ATXs growl.

I'm now at home so I've removed the Dorm info.
Have a nice summer; I will. ;^}
